Grello wins! What a race though... Too bad we missed so many hours due to weather conditions, but so much action nevertheless. Battle for P3 between 4 cars on the last lap was thrilling. Kevin Estre is such an incredible driver.

Yes, and the race restarts now... only 4 and half hours left...

That's not too far from reality The "other guy" is actually the driver of the car, he got out of the burning car, ran to the barriers, got the extuingisher and put it to work before the marshall was there

Race has been red-flagged due to weather conditions, earliest restart at 7am

Let the mind games and off-track drama begin

First victim

I love the elevation changes and the fact that there are diverse racing lines, which allows more wheel to wheel racing. What I don't like is the wide runoffs, though. If I had to name the worst track on the calendar, I'd personally choose either Paul Ricard, Barcelona, Melbourne, Sochi or Abu Dhabi...

How come? I think COTA is a good track for racing...

I think Indianapolis is the only other circuit in the US to have FIA Grade 1. Would love to see F1 racing there again...

24h Nürburgring this weekend... Friends have been camping there since Tuesday already, going through most of their alcohol way before the weekend starts Wish I could be there...

5 seconds into the trailer, my first thought: "oh this feels like Westworld". Well, no wonder - Lisa Joy, Thandiwe Newton, Angela Sarafyan Looking forward to it...

Pre-season plan has been announced: So, 27.06.21, 15.30 Uhr, Testspiel: BW Lohne - SV Werder, Heinz-Dettmer-Stadion (Lohne) Mi, 30.06.21, 18.30 Uhr, Testspiel: VfB Oldenburg - SV Werder, Marschwegstadion (Oldenburg) Do, 01. bis Do, 08.07./Fr, 09.07.21, Trainingslager im Zillertal, Zell am Ziller (Österreich)

Get well soon!

NASA has chosen 4 Discovery-class mission proposals, and will choose the final two today after evaluating the concept studies in the last 9 months. Some very interesting proposals there... https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-four-possible-missions-to-study-the-secrets-of-the-solar-system/ DAVINCI+ The mission seeks to analyze Venus’ atmosphere to understand how it formed and evolved before determining whether Venus ever had an ocean. The spacecraft will plunge through Venus’ inhospitable atmosphere to precisely measure its composition down to the surface. The instruments are encapsulated within a purpose-built descent sphere to protect them from the intense environment of Venus. The “+” in DAVINCI+ refers to the imaging component of the mission, which includes cameras on the descent sphere and orbiter designed to map surface rock-type. James Garvin of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is the principal investigator. Goddard would provide project management. Io Volcano Observer (IVO) IVO would explore Jupiter’s moon, Io, to learn how tidal forces shape planetary bodies. Io is heated by the constant crush of Jupiter’s gravity and is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Little is known about Io’s specific characteristics, such as whether a magma ocean exists in its interior. Using close-in flybys, IVO would assess how magma is generated and erupted on Io. The mission’s results could revolutionize our understanding of the formation and evolution of rocky, terrestrial bodies, as well as icy ocean worlds in our solar system, and extrasolar planets across the universe. Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona in Tucson is the principal investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland would provide project management. TRIDENT Trident would explore Triton, a unique and highly active icy moon of Neptune, to understand pathways to habitable worlds at tremendous distances from the Sun. NASA’s Voyager 2 mission showed that Triton has active resurfacing—generating the second youngest surface in the solar system—with the potential for erupting plumes and an atmosphere. Coupled with an ionosphere that can create organic snow and the potential for an interior ocean, Triton is an exciting exploration target to understand how habitable worlds may develop in our solar system and others. Using a single fly-by, Trident would map Triton, characterize active processes, and determine whether the predicted subsurface ocean exists. Louise Prockter of the Lunar and Planetary Institute/Universities Space Research Association in Houston is the principal investigator. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, would provide project management VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) VERITAS would map Venus’ surface to determine the planet’s geologic history and understand why Venus developed so differently than the Earth. Orbiting Venus with a synthetic aperture radar, VERITAS charts surface elevations over nearly the entire planet to create three-dimensional reconstructions of topography and confirm whether processes, such as plate tectonics and volcanism, are still active on Venus. VERITAS would also map infrared emissions from the surface to map Venus’ geology, which is largely unknown. Suzanne Smrekar of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, is the principal investigator. JPL would provide project management. Hopefuly, DAVINCI+ will be one of those given the green light, would love to see a lander on Venus!

We're apparently interested in Marvin Duksch. Would definitely be a very good signing for the 2. Liga, but given that he still has a contract with Hannover until 2022 and his market value is around 2m, I don't think it's very realistic.

Yeah, it normally ticked all boxes, but you know how it is, sometimes it just offputing and you don't even know why Hmmm murder mysteries can be good, even if it's not my prefered genre... Might give it a try if I don't find anything else Oh and yes, I have seen Rome Good series. Thanks for the effort, anyway

Yes, you recommend it to me, and I tried hard to like it, but I didn't Just couldn't stand the main character, so it put me off the series completely...

New manager - check 17 million Euro through SME Bonds - check Glad that both are finally sorted, let's see what happens next in terms of squad planning.

What's up with KHR stepping down?

Have you seen the recent ones with the clouds? Mind blowing. Some moving gif images here as well: https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8956/nasas-curiosity-rover-captures-shining-clouds-on-mars/

I need to find a new series to watch, and have completely ran out of ideas Any help, please?... What I like: scifi, mystery, history, western, adventure What I don't particularly like: crime, police procedurals, horror, superheroes, most comedies My most favourite series: Lost, Dark, For All Mankind, The Expanse, M*A*S*H, Timeless, The Mandalorian, Westworld, Raised by Wolves, Deadwood, Person of Interest, Godless, 11.22.63, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica.

Marco Bode, Andreas Hoetzel, Thomas Krohne and Kurt Zech will not run for a position in the Supervisory board again in the next election. Frank Baumann officially confirmed to stay. That's all good and nice, but can we please announce the new manager at last?... Less than two months until the new season starts.

would have not ended well if it wasn't for aeroscreen...
